 Scholz Garten Join the buzz, and get a buzz.
Moviemakers, parties, libations. Come on Austin, this is your chance to live it up (quasi) Hollywood style. Only, replace the $22 martinis with reasonably priced draft beer. Best of all, it's a chance for you to donate to a worthy non-profit that works hard behind the scenes to get more of that movie magic here in Austin. The Texas Motion Picture Alliance (TXMPA) is hosting the mixer/benefit on Tuesday, September 9 at Scholz Garten (6:30-9:00pm). |
